Fire Hits Brimm's Machine Shop Late Monday Evening Fire of undetermined origin was discovered by night watch man Cecil Travis, about 5:45 p. m., Monday at the Brimm Bros, repair shop, just about 40 feet from the mill. When discovered the fire had such headway that it took every effort of the Brookings volun teer firemen to keep the blaze confined to the shop, and away from the huge diesel oil tanks a few feet away. In the shop, used for repair ing entirely, were about 20 log ging truck tires, parts for mill repair, power saws, and such. The building was a total loss. In discussing the blaze with the Pilot, Warren Smith said he had the greatest admiration for Brookings firemen, who simply had no chance to save the build ing and any of the contents, but did almost a heroic job in con trolling the blaze to the shop alone. The loss was partially in sured, Mr. Smith said. Adjusters were here Wednes day checking into the losses es timated to run several thousand dollars.
